Announcement Message
Hello Mission HS Parents & Guardians. Many of you have heard that the state of California will soon issue Pandemic-EBT cards for families to use to purchase extra food and groceries while schools are closed.
Students who receive free and reduced lunch qualify automatically, however, we strongly recommend that you check your eligibility no later than this Monday, February 22.
It also very important that you provide a new mailing address if you have recently moved, so your card is mailed to the correct address between March and June of this school year.
Please check the two-step process in the message below.
You may also contact the district’s Student Nutrition Office to check your eligibility by calling 415-749-3604, and to get help updating your mailing address you may call the district’s parent hotline center at 415-340-1716.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eligible families can receive a P-EBT card with funds to purchase food while school buildings are closed.
To receive P-EBT, review the following before February 22:
-
Ensure your children are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. If you haven’t already, update your household income information online by submitting the Multipurpose Family Income Form.
-
Ensure your mailing address is correct. Check which address you have on file or update it by completing the Emergency Card form online in ParentVUE.
The State of California will mail cards directly to families March through June. Families do not need to apply. Benefits have recently been increased by 15% and will include any August and September funds not received. Like school meals, P-EBT is available regardless of citizenship status and is not considered a “public charge.”
Note: All students enrolled in Community Eligibility Provision schools, receiving CalFresh or CalWORKs, or who are homeless, migrant, or foster, are automatically eligible and do not need to submit the Multipurpose Family Income Form. Please ensure your mailing address is correct!
P.S. You are eligible for P-EBT but can't get online to update this info? Please contact the Student and Family Resource Link at 415-340-1716.
